The three plants of this family which have been found above 5000 feet, 
are all essentially temperate forms—one Cytisus, typical of the Mediter- 
ranean region and Canary Islands, but hitherto unknown in Tropical Africa, 
and known by one species only in Abyssinia: the others belong to 
Trifolium, also a Mediterranean genus, but several species of which are 
Abyssinian, including both the Fernando Po ones.
